[00:05] ---
    Charce. Tell us everything.
    Why do you have this mission?
[00:11] ---
    Who are you?
[00:14] ---
    I'm also a clone.
[00:16] ---
    My original is Noah Vix.
[00:19] ---
    The ruler of the Vixia Royal Quarter.
[00:22] ---
    I am a clone of the king.
[00:41] ---
    The ordinary starry sky
[00:52] ---
    Can I reach it too
[01:00] ---
    Some day?
[01:02] ---
    Flickering trail
[01:05] ---
    Follow it with a finger
[01:07] ---
    Regret wells up
[01:11] ---
    That is
[01:12] ---
    Beyond the distant views
[01:16] ---
    Awaits the world I yearned for
[01:22] ---
    It's a dream I can't achieve alone
[01:27] ---
    Courage lets us believe
    that we have a purpose here

[01:32] ---
    And guides us to you, far away
[01:37] ---
    Your voice, from my distant memories
[01:41] ---
    I can hear you
[01:57] ---
    My oldest memories are full of stone columns...
[01:59] ---
    They were like a forest made of stone,
    lined up in complex rows.
[02:11] ---
    Charce.
[02:13] ---
    Describe your mission.
    For what purpose were you born?
[02:18] ---
    Yes.
[02:19] ---
    To become your body, my king.
[02:22] ---
    "King of Vixia
    Noah Vix"
    Yes. You belong to me--you are not a person.
[02:27] ---
    When the day comes,
    you will surrender your life to me.
[02:32] ---
    As you wish...
[02:35] ---
    I was told that mission over
    and over as I grew up.
[02:38] ---
    I led my life under a false identity,
    as the son of a close aide to the king.
[02:42] ---
    I was not permitted to leave the castle.
[02:45] ---
    I was allowed to get information
    about the outside world, though.
[02:49] ---
    So to pass the time, I studied voraciously.
[02:53] ---
    What I found most interesting
    were plants and animals.
[02:57] ---
    Because I was locked in the castle,
    biology was full of wonder.
[03:04] ---
    The princess, who knew about this,
    looked after me,
[03:07] ---
    and we studied insects and plants
    inside the castle grounds together.
[03:11] ---
    I loved spending time with her,
    and that was the only "fun" I knew.
[03:16] ---
    I thought that was all the world had to offer,
    and I was fine with that.
[03:21] ---
    But that day, when I turned 17...
[03:23] ---
    Perish with honor, Charce.
[03:26] ---
    When the Genome Control Act passed,
    the king decided to kill the clone.
[03:33] ---
    Employ this, passed on in secret in Vixia.
[03:36] ---
    You will exit on Earth.
    There is no way you will be found.
[03:41] ---
    Your transfer into the high school
    has been arranged.
[03:44] ---
    For the remaining few days of your life,
    I permit you to make friends.
[03:49] ---
    Perish with your companions.
[03:54] ---
    My life existed for the king.
[03:57] ---
    As a vessel, I was not permitted
    to have a goal in life.
[04:00] ---
    I had no doubts about that,
    since that's how I was raised.
[04:09] ---
    That's...
[04:11] ---
    That can't be...
[04:13] ---
    The king's orders are absolute.
    I became the assassin to kill all of us.
[04:21] ---
    So the story about you
    being raised as a noble...
[04:28] ---
    Not bad for something I improvised
    on the spot, right?
[04:32] ---
    I don't understand! Why would you...?!
[04:36] ---
    Charce...
[04:38] ---
    Do you pity me?
[04:40] ---
    Don't force your values on me.
[04:43] ---
    You just don't understand.
[04:45] ---
    I'm willing to die for the king.
    That is what I find to be fortunate.
[04:50] ---
    You must understand, Polina.
    You know how people were in the Old Era.
[04:54] ---
    Yes.
[04:56] ---
    There were people in my era
    who would gladly give their lives
[05:00] ---
    in support of the thing that they worshipped.
[05:03] ---
    Tangled relations engulfed the whole world,
    dragging everything into chaos.
[05:08] ---
    That was just how things were at the time.
[05:10] ---
    Who could blame them?
[05:12] ---
    They became that way because
    they were raised that way.
[05:16] ---
    There are so many people living
    their lives today with no purpose.
[05:21] ---
    I, however, can say with pride
[05:23] ---
    what a wonderful life I have!
[05:33] ---
    So are you saying it was all an act?
[05:36] ---
    Yes.
[05:37] ---
    You're lying. You really think
    we are your companions.
[05:41] ---
    Stand back.
[05:43] ---
    Don't underestimate me.
[05:45] ---
    I can tell when someone's
    expressions are forced.
[05:49] ---
    You really love us.
[05:51] ---
    You give yourselves too much credit.
[05:54] ---
    How else would we have made it this far?
[05:58] ---
    We had each other's backs,
    clawing desperately to make it home...
[06:03] ---
    You'll never convince me that we aren't friends!
[06:08] ---
    No! I have no friends!
[06:12] ---
    Then, why?
[06:14] ---
    Why did you retract the sphere, twice?
[06:19] ---
    On Vilavurs, and here on this planet,
[06:23] ---
    you had the chance to, but you stopped.
[06:28] ---
    You could have chased me down
    and killed me then.
[06:32] ---
    You hesitated. You didn't want to kill him!
[06:34] ---
    No. I have no hesitations
    to execute the mission.
[06:39] ---
    The reason I stopped was...
[06:43] ---
    ...to prevent Aries from getting taken with you.
[06:47] ---
    Aries?
[06:49] ---
    You have one misunderstanding.
    My aim isn't to return to Astra alone.
[06:56] ---
    My original goal was to kill everyone,
    but I changed those plans.
[07:01] ---
    That's because I found Aries.
[07:05] ---
    What are you saying?
[07:08] ---
    The moment I saw you at the spaceport,
    I saw the resemblance.
[07:13] ---
    Then, I learned about your photographic
    memory in the forests of Vilavurs.
[07:19] ---
    And then, about your different-colored eyes.
[07:22] ---
    I was convinced. You have the same genes.
[07:27] ---
    Aries, you are the king's only daughter.
[07:36] ---
    A clone of Princess Seira.
[07:41] ---
    Charce.
[07:43] ---
    Charce, wait.
[07:44] ---
    Oh, my apologies, Your Highness.
[07:47] ---
    Come on, I told you, just call me Seira.
[07:51] ---
    You're my personal aide now.
    Just obey what I say.
[07:56] ---
    Yes... Seira.
[07:59] ---
    This is funny. Genetically, I'm your daughter.
[08:04] ---
    But to me, you feel like a little brother.
[08:07] ---
    Seira, why are you so kind to me?
[08:11] ---
    I'm just a clone--
[08:13] ---
    Charce, I don't care how my father sees you.
[08:17] ---
    As I've said many times, I'm opposed
    to my father's rejuvenation plan.
[08:24] ---
    Clones are people, too... I can't forgive him.
[08:29] ---
    I actually had a clone, too.
[08:33] ---
    A clone? Like me?
[08:35] ---
    Yes.
[08:37] ---
    When they told me about the plan,
    I resisted their attempt to clone me.
[08:43] ---
    But they acquired my cells
    without my knowledge.
[08:50] ---
    Father! How could you?!
[08:52] ---
    Your clone and mine... They will be
    raised by their surrogate mothers.
[08:58] ---
    A spare, just in case. If you were to fall
    gravely ill, we could use her organs.
[09:06] ---
    No! I refuse!
[09:07] ---
    Remember your mother and how
    she died of that illness.
[09:11] ---
    I don't want to lose anyone again.
    Please understand, Seira.
[09:17] ---
    Together, we shall live forever.
[09:24] ---
    Her highness awaits. This way.
[09:27] ---
    Ms. Emma.
[09:30] ---
    Emma!
[09:32] ---
    Your Highness!
[09:33] ---
    Thank you for making the decision
    to leave Vixia with this child.
[09:38] ---
    Your escape is ready, please hurry.
[09:41] ---
    Emma, tell me again.
[09:44] ---
    Are you ready to become this child's mother?
[09:47] ---
    Yes, I am.
[09:50] ---
    She is not my flesh and blood, but I
    raised her as a surrogate in my body...
[09:55] ---
    I cannot bear to raise her here,
    knowing how terrible her fate is.
[10:01] ---
    Thank you.
[10:02] ---
    Emma, I'm sorry. You're the only person
    I can trust with this.
[10:07] ---
    I will raise her with care.
[10:11] ---
    We must depart.
[10:14] ---
    Please, wipe your tears.
[10:16] ---
    Yes.
[10:18] ---
    Your Highness, the child does not
    have a name. Please name her.
[10:22] ---
    A name...
[10:28] ---
    "Aries."
[10:29] ---
    Aries... That is a wonderful name.
[10:34] ---
    My daughter, Aries...
[10:42] ---
    Aries...
[10:44] ---
    Live well...
[10:47] ---
    I told father that the baby died suddenly.
[10:51] ---
    He tried to force me to create another clone,
    but I continued to defy him.
[11:01] ---
    But I am powerless to stop
    my father's ambitions. I'm sorry.
[11:06] ---
    Oh Charce, what a terrible fate you have...
[11:09] ---
    What's so terrible?
[11:11] ---
    The fact that you don't understand--
    that's what pains me the most.
[11:17] ---
    Seira was a strong, gentle, and noble soul.
[11:27] ---
    "Vixia Royal Quarter
    One year before camp"
[11:30] ---
    Though my only purpose in life
    was to become the king's vessel,
[11:33] ---
    I made it my secret personal mission
    to protect and entertain her.
[11:37] ---
    Look at this tree. It's grown bigger again.
[11:40] ---
    Oh, I see...
[11:43] ---
    Hey, a white-eye!
    Didn't we see him the other day?
[11:47] ---
    Oh, wow...
[11:49] ---
    You're boring.
[11:51] ---
    I don't remember. I don't have your memory.
[11:56] ---
    But look over here, there's a worm
    being carried by an army of ants.
[12:00] ---
    I'm going to check out the flowers over there.
[12:31] ---
    Seira!
[12:35] ---
    An assassination, made to look like
    an accident. But there was no proof.
[12:40] ---
    Witness testimony from a single aide
    was quickly brushed under the rug.
[12:49] ---
    Though you deserve to be sentenced to death,
    your body belongs to me.
[12:55] ---
    You will spend the rest of your days here.
    Repent your sins.
[13:03] ---
    I was left alone for a long time.
[13:06] ---
    I spent the time staring at the wall.
[13:10] ---
    I kept thinking about who I am, and regret
    drove me to understand I have no value.
[13:19] ---
    "Vixia Royal Quarter
    One week before camp"
[13:21] ---
    Charce.
[13:23] ---
    The laws of the land have been changed
    before your time to sacrifice your body.
[13:29] ---
    Now you must die.
[13:33] ---
    Oh, now I can finally fulfill my mission...
[13:37] ---
    Now I can finally put this life to use!
[13:41] ---
    Yes!
[13:43] ---
    As you wish!
[13:49] ---
    There's no doubt about it--you are
    the clone of Princess Seira.
[13:54] ---
    You were smuggled out of Vixia
    when you were a baby.
[13:57] ---
    So, my mother is...
[14:00] ---
    One of Seira's handmaids.
[14:03] ---
    Not your biological mother.
[14:07] ---
    Well.
[14:09] ---
    Mother's Day? For me?
[14:13] ---
    Thank you.
[14:16] ---
    Please?
[14:18] ---
    What? No, if there's something you want,
    you have to wait until your birthday.
[14:27] ---
    Happy birthday!
[14:30] ---
    Here is your present.
[14:41] ---
    Mom! Mom!
[14:47] ---
    If Aries's whereabouts were kept a secret,
    how did she get onto this team?
[14:54] ---
    Probably orchestrated by the faction
    who assassinated Seira.
[14:58] ---
    They found out about Emma and
    made it so Aries got on team B5.
[15:03] ---
    If the Genome Control Act reveals
    she's the princess's clone,
[15:07] ---
    she might become the king's heir.
[15:10] ---
    That's why they tried to have her killed...
[15:14] ---
    I won't let them. I won't let Aries die...
[15:19] ---
    Seira's life, that was taken from us,
    is back again.
[15:25] ---
    Oh, I can see the tears of joy
    flowing down the king's face.
[15:29] ---
    Aries will return as Princess Seira!
    I will take her back!
[15:34] ---
    I've had... enough!
[15:37] ---
    Aries is Aries! Not Seira!
[15:40] ---
    You idiot!
[15:43] ---
    You don't understand how much the king--
[15:47] ---
    Shut up!
[15:49] ---
    Shut up about the king!
    You're the one who's sad!
[15:53] ---
    Who mourned the princess's death the most?
    Who was happy to find Aries the most?
[15:58] ---
    It's you!
[16:03] ---
    What happens after you take Aries back?
[16:06] ---
    Wouldn't you be killed anyway,
    since you're still the king's clone?
[16:15] ---
    I would... go back out to space and die alone.
[16:25] ---
    Kanata?!
[16:26] ---
    Is that what you really want?!
[16:29] ---
    Don't lie to your friends, you idiot!
[16:35] ---
    Now I know why you were having
    so much fun on this trip.
[16:39] ---
    You were happier than anybody else
[16:40] ---
    that you got out of your castle
    and saw the world.
[16:46] ---
    My dream came true.
[16:48] ---
    What you really want is to live.
[16:51] ---
    Let's go home together. We can see more
    of what the world has to offer.
[16:56] ---
    After all, none of us know
    our own planet very well.
[17:04] ---
    Let's go home together, Charce!
[17:06] ---
    Charce!
[17:07] ---
    Let's go home!
[17:09] ---
    The originals are the ones
    who are going to get punished.
[17:11] ---
    King or not, a crime is a crime.
    There's no reason why you should die.
[17:15] ---
    How you were born or raised was not your choice.
    But you can change from here on.
[17:22] ---
    I can't change.
[17:24] ---
    That's how it was where I was raised.
[17:26] ---
    You can change!
[17:28] ---
    Look at me! I've changed!
[17:31] ---
    Thanks to all of you!
[17:35] ---
    I'm also no longer the person my mom raised.
[17:38] ---
    I'm different from Funi, too.
[17:40] ---
    This has nothing to do
    with your parents or your genes.
[17:43] ---
    Who you meet, how you live, those things
    can change you however you like!
[17:52] ---
    I know that. It's clear.
[17:57] ---
    I was part of this trip, too.
[18:00] ---
    But I...
[18:06] ---
    There's nothing I can do...
[18:36] ---
    I hid the sphere generation device
    in the left sleeve of my suit
[18:41] ---
    so that I could bring it out whenever I needed.
[18:49] ---
    I have another one in my right sleeve.
[18:52] ---
    Back up, everyone!
[18:57] ---
    Charce...
[19:00] ---
    Dammit!
[19:01] ---
    Ulgar, you don't have a shot from here!
[19:03] ---
    It's okay. He won't hurt us,
    not while Aries is on this side.
[19:07] ---
    Then why did he...
[19:12] ---
    I know, Charce. I know what you're thinking.
    We're companions, after all.
[19:21] ---
    The sphere...
[19:24] ---
    Charce is trying to kill himself!
[19:29] ---
    Charce!
[19:33] ---
    I'm sorry, everyone. I really love you.
[19:39] ---
    Kanata!
[19:40] ---
    Stop, Kanata!
[19:42] ---
    Kanata?!
[19:43] ---
    Kanata!
[19:44] ---
    Is he going around the sphere?
    He's not going to be fast enough!
[19:46] ---
    No...
[19:48] ---
    He's running straight into it!
[19:55] ---
    Yes, Kanata.
[19:58] ---
    You're always running.
[20:01] ---
    Straight on.
[20:03] ---
    No hesitation.
[20:07] ---
    From the day we first met.
[20:23] ---
    Antigravity shoes!
[20:26] ---
    Ultimate Dive Bomb!
[20:32] ---
    Charce!
[20:34] ---
    Kanata!
[20:36] ---
    Hurry, run!
[20:39] ---
    Get away from us, or else!
[20:58] ---
    Kanata...!
[21:00] ---
    Kanata!
[21:05] ---
    Hold him down! I'll stop the bleeding!
[21:08] ---
    My arm...!
[21:23] ---
    Kanata!
[21:24] ---
    --Kanata!
    --I can't stop the bleeding!
[21:25] ---
    Zack! Bring up the controls
    on Kanata's crust suit.
[21:28] ---
    Set pressure on the right arm to maximum!
[21:30] ---
    On it!
[21:33] ---
    I'm sorry! Kanata, I'm sorry!
[21:38] ---
    Hey... Once we get back to Astra,
    you owe me big time.
[21:44] ---
    You have to help me, be by my side.
[21:48] ---
    Kanata... I...
[21:50] ---
    I'm getting my own ship.
[21:55] ---
    Like we promised before.
[21:59] ---
    Yes, I'd like to be there, too.
[22:03] ---
    I can be your second-in-command.
[22:07] ---
    You're going to be my right-hand man.
[22:31] ---
    The meteor shower, left to spill,
    every second, every second

[22:38] ---
    Even though I'm breathing,
    the claw marks shred my chest

[22:45] ---
    Why did the heat from one arm
[22:49] ---
    Draw a destiny-colored trajectory
[22:52] ---
    When the warm rain is bundled up
[22:56] ---
    Wavering on the blue of the sky
[22:59] ---
    Forever returning, going halfsies
[23:02] ---
    Lives bound tightly together
[23:06] ---
    Hearts taken away, trembling
[23:09] ---
    Thank you, scars
[23:13] ---
    Flowing lights, inerasable shattered galaxy
[23:17] ---
    Looking back on the noisy shadow
[23:20] ---
    Really, really, I want to change
[23:24] ---
    That self that is right next to me
[23:27] ---
    Infinitely bright, all the world, we feed back
[23:31] ---
    The place where we arrive
    at the end of a long journey

[23:35] ---
    Can't see, can't see, I want to hold
[23:37] ---
    Your hands gently in the light
